hello and happy wednesday!
today I have this FUN, summery, beach card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

I was keeping in theme with the latest Mood Board Challenge!
I used a bunch of different products for this card, so let's get down to it!

I stamped and colored the images from Duh-Nuh, Life is Good and Fintastic Friends with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then fussy cut them all out!
I added some dots of color in the darkest shade of marker that I used, as well as some white gel pen dots! love the way it makes the under the sea critters sparkle! :)

I used Distress Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet to create the ocean, as well as Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the sea floor.
I finished off the card with some stamping in Narwhal Ink of the bubbles, the duh-nuh phrase, and the small wave image from Critters in the Sea.

be sure to head over to the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along! :)
enjoy!

rainbow umbrella pals

hello!
today I have this FUN card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog! 

honestly, these umbrella critter images are one of my FAVORITE stamp sets ever! they're all so adorable! I just had to color up the pandas this time because my son's favorite animals are pandas! 

I stamped the images from Umbrella Pals and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
the background was created by ink blending in an array of Distress Inks in rainbow colors! then I placed the Cloudy Sky Stencil on top and added even more color on top!

I splattered some water and white acrylic paint onto the card an then used the Frames & Flags Die Set to add the scalloped border! 
be sure to check it out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
enjoy!

Inky Paws Challenge #100 Celebration!

hi there!
I'm so excited to share my card for the Inky Paws 100th Challenge fun that's going on!

I think this 'Copy Cat' idea is soooo fun and fresh!!! 
as part of the Newton's Nook Design Team, I'm playing along to help celebrate and take part in the fun!

it was almost impossible to pick just one past challenge, but I went with the Tropical theme!!

isn't that photo so inspiring? I just LOVE it!
I used the cute, Toucan Party stamp and coordinating die set!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! I just love how bright the colors are!
I layered all of the leaves and flowers on top of each other at the end of the sentiment strip, and I really love how it looks with the sequins scattered around each other!

the background was ink blended with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks! then I used the same colors through the beautiful Tropical Leaves Stencil!

I hope you play along in this fun, exciting 100th challenge!
enjoy!
